This particular night, her duties included crashing London's most exclusive masquerade ball. Everly had received an invitation, she had not. So the plan was for Rourke to use her cousin Beverly's invitation since she would not be attending.
Instead of a bachelorette party for Everly's last night of being single, she wanted to attend the ball and she wanted Rourke to go with her in the hopes that Rourke would meet Roman Menshikov, the dark-haired enigmatic Russian prince that was to be in attendance. Every Spring Roman Menshikov hosted the event of the year, not for himself but for the amusement of his friends. He'd grown bored with the whole thing years ago and only personally saw to the hand selected invitation list. So when he saw the blonde come into the party, he had no idea who she was and really wasn't interested once he watched her and deemed her not a reporter.
Until he noticed Nikolay showing a proprietary interest in her. The two had been in competition for years; the best business deals, the fastest cars, the prettiest girls. They had similar tastes in woman and it was the last one that caused the most strife. Tales of intrigue and revenge peppered Roman's family history and Nikolay had done him wrong.
This was his chance to even the score. Yes, yes, it was petty, but Roman was rich and he was bored. Just wow!! Wouldn't it be lovely to wind up going to a ball, find a hot handsome man who you were not only intrigued by but attracted to as well and then be able to have uninhibited sex with no repercussion or backlash because it was anonymous? Yeah, you've got to read this book. This plot takes a few twists and turns and will make that line form between your brow a few time, but the sexual chemistry between Roman and Rourke is what will keep you tingling throughout the book.
I can't wait to see what happens next. Having read The Arrangement and The Rebel Queen first, it took me a minute to adjust to the fact that the events of The Exiled Prince come prior to the other books. The Exiled Prince is the coming together of Rouke and Roman. Rouke is the former assistant to Everly Rebel Queen who goes to Roman's infamous masquerade party in London in place of another woman.
When her Prince Charming shows her things that ignite her, she flees but can't stop thinking about him. Roman becomes obsessed with th Having read The Arrangement and The Rebel Queen first, it took me a minute to adjust to the fact that the events of The Exiled Prince come prior to the other books. Roman becomes obsessed with the woman behind the mask, trying to find her but failing. When Rouke starts working for Roman, she figures out quickly who he is but he doesn't match with who he showed her that night.
Showing a great ability to play with her characters, Jeana E. Mann takes the Cinderella story and gives it a modern spin. Her Rourke is a woman with a good head on her shoulders, loyal, and strong. Rourke is the type of character you can easily identify with as she pits herself against her surly boss to keep a job that will allow her to help her aunt while worrying about what would happen if Roman figures out who she is.
Roman is a bit more complicated. A man who has way too many dishes spinning to really look around himself to see the truth in front of him, Roman is a caring person but unable to truly trust. The two are alternately oil and water and sparks with tinder. They are perfectly matched with a ton of chemistry. The Exiled Prince is fast-paced with great banter and push and pull between the leads.
When they finally figure out who each is, the sexual tension is pulled taut and makes for some steamy reading. There are political threats that swirl around them with plots hatching yet to come to fruition. As this is the start of a trio of books revolving around the couple, there are some issues left unresolved but the book doesn't end on a cliffhanger.
Roman and Rourke get their HEA with more action and danger to come for the two. Apr 30, Kim rated it really liked it. I found this book in an Amazon recommendation email, and I decided to 1-click it. What I found was an enjoyable read with a feisty heroine who knows what she wants and a hero who is a worried parent trying to find his daughter. First though, we are treated to a masquerade ball with a hidden side of debauchery at an exclusive event where Rourke's best friend Everly convinces her to take advantage of the anonymity- and does she ever!
Roman, the host and the titled exiled Russian prince, is Rourke' I found this book in an Amazon recommendation email, and I decided to 1-click it. Roman, the host and the titled exiled Russian prince, is Rourke's secret celebrity crush of sorts, and while she wonders if he is the mysterious man who swoops in to take her out of the arms of another man, she has no way to know for sure.
One extremely hot encounter later, and her magical evening comes to an end. Now it is back to reality and the cold hard truth facing her: she is unemployed since Everly is getting married and moving away, and Rourke needs to come up with something quickly to pay for her aunt's health care costs.
An unexpected chain of events lands her a job with none other than Roman himself, but he doesn't recognize her and she has mixed feelings about that.
Roman's trusted advisor and friend Ivan knows her secret though and finds great amusement in the fact that Roman doesn't realize the woman he spent months searching for is right under his nose.
But Roman is too absorbed in trying to find his ex and his daughter that is being hidden from him. Tempers flare and sparks fly amid the growing tension, but once Roman figures out Rourke's identity he makes a conscious effort to tone down his less desirable character traits.
Slowly they build a relationship until they finally give in to the heat again. We are left with a happy for now but I know there are 2 more books in the series so I am sure things will be shaken up again!
One crazy and supposedly incognito night turns into so much more for a personal assistant and an exiled prince.

Typically bored by the event he hosts, Roman never attends, but there is something about the masked beauty who he knows is not on the guest list that has all of his attention. When she refuses to tell who she is, he searches for her without luck.
Ohhhh, I loved Rourke. She is so unexpected as a character. And, Roman is everything that an exiled prince should be. And, I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the cat and mouse like game that ensued between Rourke and Roman. I also loved his relationship with his head of security, Ivan.
The author also gives readers a unique twist of fate by allowing them the choice of opting into the happy ever after Rourke and Roman have reached because book one is a complete story or continuing on in the trilogy. And, that sneak peek of what happens on book two.

No one will ever know Through the recommendation of a wealthy friend, Rourke gets a super high paying, generous benefits job at a company where Roman Prince Charming is the boss..
Does he recognize her? Does she recognize him? Fireworks ensue between them due to the uncertainty and their attraction to each other. This book is so well written. The sexual tension between the two is off the charts. And I couldn't stop laughing half the time-especially during one scene where Roman sends Rourke to buy some condoms for him just to piss her off. Her reply: " I vowed to bring this man to his knees No shrinking violet here:- You so have to read this book.
Kind of reminds me of an old Bruce Willis sitcom called Moonlighting where the hero and heroine have a love-hate, sexually explosive, smile inducing, weird relationship that keeps you constantly laughing and shaking your head at their antics. Well done Ms. I read and honestly reviewed an ARC of this book. Jul 20, Robin Morgan rated it it was amazing Shelves: my-own-books. For it is this stranger, a few months later, who has given Rourke a chance for an unbelievable job, a job which not only gives her a superb salary but a place to live free as well.
And with this situation now being poo-pooed it opens the doorway for a fast-paced, steamy relationship between these two protagonists. Nov 12, Claire Cronin rated it really liked it. This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed this story, although I found it a bit slow to start.

Fast forward a few months and she ends up working as a PA for Roman, who she definitely thinks it was him at the ball and is hoping he doesn't know who she is.
Roman is well known for his cold, challenging and ruthless ways and goes through employees like wildfire, until he learns that the Cinderella from the ball turns out to be his new PA. A good read with lots going on, plenty of drama, suspense and angst in the story. I loved watching the relationship between Rourke and Roman grow and change as they got to know each other better.
Their banter and the push and pull between them was brilliant as Rourke gives back as good as she takes from Roman, they have fantastic chemistry. I look forward to reading more in this series.
